I couldn't help but compare this product to the shampoo bar I was using before! Unlike my previous unscented shampoo bar, this one has a delightfully fresh, green scent. Initially, I thought the fragrance might be too strong when I opened the box, but I grew to love it more and more. It's perfect for summer - a light, cool, green-like scent. I also appreciated the eco-friendly packaging, with recyclable paper minimizing plastic use. It lathers well, and even though my hair usually gets oily within 24 hours, requiring daily washing, this bar kept my hair feeling fresh for longer. The scent wasn't overpowering either. (In this aspect, it was similar to my previous shampoo bar.)
ConsHowever, I found it necessary to use a treatment, conditioner, or hair oil for hair care. I recently had a partial bleach and blue-black dye job, which might have influenced my experience, but my hair felt quite stiff after using just the shampoo. Also, when I used my fingers to detangle my hair, which I do often, I noticed more hair coming out than usual after using this bar. Even when gently combing with my fingers, I frequently felt strands being pulled from my scalp, which was concerning.

I'm not usually a fan of artificial scents, but this one has a refreshing mugwort aroma that I really like. Plus, the scent lasts surprisingly long for a soap! Lather: This is where it really shines. For a shampoo bar, it creates an incredible amount of foam! I have oily hair and a lot of it, so I usually need to use a lot of shampoo to get a good lather. But this bar actually foams up better than liquid shampoo! Cleansing power: For context, I have oily hair and a lot of it, so I need to wash twice a day due to how quickly oil builds up. That's why I place a huge emphasis on cleansing effectiveness. After using this Cosmo shampoo bar, my hair feels squeaky clean! The fresh, clean feeling also lasts longer than with regular shampoo. (This was actually my favorite aspect of the product.) You might worry that this would make your hair feel dry and straw-like, but surprisingly, my hair feels just as soft as it does with regular shampoo! (This could be because I have oily hair.) To be honest, my hair actually feels a bit healthier. Overall: It's gentler than other bars, and it's healthier than shampoos that build up chemicals on your body. I'm really impressed!
ConsTo be honest, there weren't many downsides, but if I had to mention one, it would be that because I have a lot of hair, the bar wears down quickly with each use. I'm not sure how long one bar will last, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, it might not be as economical as liquid shampoo. However, this is probably unavoidable with any soap bar.
TipAs many of you may already know, I stick a bottle cap into the shampoo bar when I use it. Soap tends to get mushy if it keeps absorbing water!

I keep it with my hand soap, but it seems to soften easily when it gets wet. It's worn down a lot even though I haven't used it much. It would be great if they sold a storage container with it. Also, it's really disappointing how stiff it feels when washing the scalp. Everything else is as good as regular shampoo, but this is a major letdown. It's impossible to use without conditioner.
Cons보관하기가 살짝 불편합니다… 손 세척용 비누랑 같이 냅두는데 물기가 있으면 쉽게 말랑해지는지 별로 안 썼는데도 엄청 닳아버렸어요🥲 보관할 수 있는 걸 함께 판매한다면 더 좋을 것 같네용 그리고 두피를 감을 때 뻑뻑해서 너무 아쉽습니다.. 딴 건 일반 샴푸만큼 괜찮은데 너무 아쉽네요. 트리트먼트 없이는 사용 불가능❌
TipIt's best to store it in a place where water won't reach it. -> I wouldn't particularly recommend this product. The stiffness is too much of a drawback.

Comparing it to my current ㄷㄱㅂ shampoo bar: (Advantages) Fragrance! With its centella asiatica extract, this product has a delightful scent. My usual product is fragrance-free, which can be a bit bland. I love this fresh, green aroma. Soft lather! It produces a great lather even with bare hands. Although I use a foaming net, Cosmo creates such rich foam that you can get that fluffy lather just using your hands. Refreshing cleanse! As someone with a hippie perm who uses oils and perm gels, I applaud its cleansing effectiveness. There's no irritation, and it rinses clean, leaving you feeling fresh. No blemishes at all. Naturally, the natural-derived, clean ingredients go without saying!
Cons(Drawback) The relatively soft texture means it gets used up quickly. While the consistency creates great lather, its softness means it could wear down rapidly if not dried properly after use.
TipUse a foaming net, store it on a soap dish, and make sure to dry it thoroughly after each use.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsScent: First off, the fragrance is truly forest-like - a genuine herbal, woodland aroma! Even before opening, the green scent wafts up, which I absolutely adored as someone who loves these kinds of fragrances. Pleasantly, the scent isn't overpowering when used. Performance: Those familiar with shampoo bars will know that, being soap-based, it doesn't leave your hair feeling soft after use. However, compared to other products I've tried, it felt less stiff. The hair wash experience is delightfully squeaky clean, and it lathers up nicely with a rich foam! Another great point is that the bar is firm and doesn't soften easily - a huge plus in my book! Noticeably, it left my hair feeling less greasy, so I think those with oily scalps would be quite satisfied with this product.
ConsAs mentioned earlier, it doesn't leave your hair feeling soft after use. It cleanses thoroughly like washing your hands with soap, so you might want to follow up with a treatment or apply some hair essence afterward. If I had to nitpick, the scent might be polarizing for some. While it's not particularly stiff even without using a treatment, it may feel stiffer compared to conventional liquid shampoos we're used to.
TipFor the best lather, rub it on the ends of your hair - you'll get an amazingly rich foam. If you have short hair, just work up a lather in your hands and massage it into your scalp as you would with regular shampoo, adding water as needed. As many others have mentioned, using the bottle cap as a soap dish works brilliantly! For those interested in zero-waste products and curious about shampoo bars, this could be a great introduction. I'll likely repurchase when I run out.

The packaging was very thorough and eco-friendly. The forest scent upon opening was impressive (I was initially worried about the strong fragrance, but when used, it was subtle enough not to cause headaches). 2. It lathers extremely well, and the bar doesn't soften easily, making it convenient to use. Just wet it and rub a few times to cover the entire head. 3. When I received the product, my scalp inflammation was severe, with sebum particles appearing shortly after washing. After using this for a few days, the inflammation almost disappeared. 4. I love the squeaky clean feeling while washing. 5. When drying my hair, there's no itchiness or need to focus on my scalp, suggesting the inflammation has subsided well. 6. I usually only use shampoo without conditioner or treatment, and compared to other deep cleansing shampoos, this left my hair feeling less dry (despite the squeaky clean wash!).
ConsIt claims to be soothing and cooling, so I expected a refreshing sensation like Olive Young shampoos, but it's actually very gentle.
TipIt works great when used with a shampoo brush.

I have an extremely oily scalp, and on hot and humid days like these, even if I wash my hair in the morning, it gets greasy by nighttime. Fragrance: As soon as I opened the small packaging containing the soap, the scent wafted up. I really dislike artificial or strong fragrances, but this shampoo bar had a pleasant, refreshing forest and woody aroma. Usage experience: I usually prefer shampoos that lather well, so I don't typically go for shampoo bars. However, this product created a rich, creamy lather that made hair washing enjoyable! As I mentioned earlier, I have an extremely oily scalp, so on particularly bad days, I used to wash my hair twice. But with this soap-like product, one thorough wash was enough to leave my scalp squeaky clean. While it left my scalp feeling fresh, it's worth noting that after drying, my hair felt surprisingly soft for a shampoo bar, making it convenient to use.
ConsThe only downside is that, being soap-based, it tends to get mushy when left on a holder.
TipFor best results, wet your hair thoroughly and work the shampoo bar to create a good lather!

The scent is a delightful blend of earthy and grassy notes, which I absolutely love. Plus, the price is so reasonable! My hair felt squeaky clean after use, and as someone who struggles with folliculitis on my scalp, I haven't experienced any itchiness since I started using it - though it's still early days.
ConsSo far, I haven't found anything particularly disappointing about this product. The ingredients are said to be gentle, and I haven't experienced any adverse skin reactions after use. My only concern is that being a bar soap, it might get used up quicker than I'd like.
TipI loved how massaging the bar directly on my scalp to create lather doubled as an invigorating scalp massage!
